Description: A slicing knife is between a chef’s knife and a paring knife, with a narrower and straighter blade. This makes it perfect for a multitude of small tasks where more precise cuts are needed, such as trimming broccoli, green beans, or other smaller vegetables. Some cooks like to use it in their hand, too—almost like a large paring knife. Others like its smaller size as an alternative to the chef’s knife. Utility knives are sometimes called sandwich knives because they work well on almost everything that goes into a sandwich—from thin-skinned vegetables such as tomatoes, to meats and cheeses.
Ginyo chef's knives are hand forged by a craftsman in Eichizen, Japan. The Ginsan 3 (Silver 3) stainless steel core (hagane) is surrounded by layers of softer alternating stainless steels. At 60-61 Hrc, Ginsan ensures a keen, long lasting edge that is still easily sharpening able a sharpening stone and very responsive to ceramic honing rods. The blade is sharpened to a keen, razor edge. The spine and choice are nicely rounded and polished for a comfortable pinch grip. The many layered suminagashi sides are very dramatic. The ambidextrous convex grind provides effortless food release while chopping and slicing. The distal tapered blade (beginning with a thicker spine where the blade comes out of the handle and becoming progressively thinner as it approaches the detail-oriented tip) ensures perfect balance.
The octagonal "Wa" style handle is ambidextrous. The wenge wood (Millettia laurentii) culminates in a buffalo horn ferrule. Like other kitchen knives, this knife should not be put in a dishwasher.
Ginyo by Hatsukokoro chef's knives are a great choice for the cook who is looking for a professional-quality, well-balanced, solid, high-performing stainless steel chef's knife that is visually dramatic, easy to work with and easy to maintain.
